Sara Wallis: There She Goes lays bare agony and ecstasy of parenting disabled child


It follows the life of learning disabled Rosie, played brilliantly by Miley Locke, and her parents and brother Ben as they cope with everyday situations. He dubs Rosie’s school sports day the “wacky races” and bemoans the fact she’s at a school where the half-term newsletter sometimes has an obit section. Flashbacks to 2007 reveal Emily on Prozac, Simon debating whether to leave and Ben asking if his sister will ever “be normal”. Whether it’s Rosie running the wrong way in a race, scribbling all over her ­bedroom wall or managing to be sarcastic in Makaton, it’s all Rosie’s normal. A perfectly pitched, bold series, this shines a comedic spotlight on a life that for some is reality.
